Mossy Bark

A few months ago when we were going through rather windy wintery days this bit of bark with a rather interesting moss patch fell right in front of me... Was it the contrast in the green and brown colours, was it the shape or was it the coincidence of this 'object' falling in front of me that made me stop and/in wonder?

To cut the story short, I took a quick shot and continued on my way when struggling with the cold and windy January day. Later on, as I tend to do, I processed the image in my head, reached for some yarn and started on my first trial...

...shown here are three stages; the base, the yellow bit and the green bit on top. To explain more, I decided to incorporate the background of the pavement in my sample which is what helped shape the outcome of my project...

I also realised how free my hand can be to produce what I had in mind when translating the bark and moss into the design. So I went for it...

When translating this to its wire variation, I simply watched the work grow right under my fingers...

What started as a little piece or bark with some moss on it ended as a cuff/bracelet that I am looking forward to wearing.
